***"Okay baby, talk to you later." Seraphina said with a large smile as she ended the call with Denmark."He is so sweet and caring, " Seraphina smiled while driving.She threw her phone at the other seat opposite the driver's and concentrated on driving. She was on her way to the hospital to check up on Rufus just like Nora wanted."I can't believe she is making me do this, but why would Richard ask her not to visit the hospital? Is he her god or what? I hope he hasn't been trying shits with Nora?" Seraphina thought as she finally arrived at the hospital.She drove to the parking lot in the hospital and parked her car at a suitable spot."Finally," She breathed out heavily as she stepped out of her car and went into the hospital.She was allowed entry since she was also one of the VIP members in the hospital. "I came to see Mr Rufus, please can you direct me where his ward is situated?" Seraphina asked one of the receptionists politely and she was immediately told the number of VIP
***Bella and Doctor Smith were literally shocked to see Seraphina, they didn't know she was already in the room."What…are…you…doing here?" Bella stuttered as her heart raced, it's going to be a disaster if Seraphina knows about their discussion."I came here to see Rufus, do you have any problem with that?" Seraphina asked as she folded her arms and Bella swallowed so hard."I will take my leave right now," Doctor Smith said and left the ward quickly leaving Bella in the hands of Seraphina."How long have you been in there? Hope you didn't hear anything at all?" Bella asked and Seraphina sent her a weird look."And why should I give you an answer to that? What's my business with whatever trash you were discussing with Doctor Smith? Only God knows what deal you must have dragged him into," Seraphina muttered with a scoff and Bella sighed in relief.Atleast, she confirmed that Seraphina had no idea about what they were discussing, she regained her confidence that instant to talk back
***"I've checked up on him and he is fine, I hope you're happy now?" Seraphina asked Nora on the phone who sighed heavily. Seraphina is currently driving back home from the hospital."Was there any improvement?""Not at all, he was just laying like a log of wood." Seraphina replied and Nora sighed sadly.She wished she could just be given a chance to stay by his side for just one day. Just staying indoors without seeing him is making her get so worried, disturbed and sick."When do you think he is going to wake up? What if he doesn't wake up for months?" Nora asked in a cracked voice, she was trying so hard not to break down into tears. "Nora, I know it's not easy for you but you have to be strong, he is going to be fine okay, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself." Seraphina muttered and Nora exhaled sharply. "I don't know, I just can't take him off my head, I just want to be there beside him, I miss him sincerely." Nora confessed truthfully as tears slipped out from her eyes."I
** At night « Mr Smith's mansion **"Why did you like to stress yourself too much dad? You look so tired and stressed out," Stephanie, Mr Smith's only child and daughter said to him over the phone. They were both on a video call, his daughter stays with her mum in China. Mr Smith is actually a divorcee but he lost custody of Stephanie to her mother when they took the matter of who is going to take custody of Stephanie to court. Stephanie still comes to see him from time to time and she has a closer relationship with her father.If not her father had lost the case to her mum, she would have preferred to stay with him but her mother had the upper hand so she had no choice than to go with her.She is grateful that her mum still gives her the opportunity to go visit her father during holidays, she is actually a high schooler."It makes me stronger my dear so you've got nothing to worry about." Doctor Smith said with a broad smile on his face.His daughter is his main source of happiness
***"So what's your conclusion? Did you want to keep the recordings to yourself and then you lose your life or do you just want to hand them to me so you will be spared?" The masked man gave him two hard options and Doctor Smith swallowed so hard.The gun was still placed at the back of his head and he was shaking badly. Sweats trickled down the side of his head that instant, he didn't know what to do at that moment.He began regretting playing games with Bella in the first place.He never had intentions to hurt Nora from the onset, he just wanted to blackmail her so he can drill huge amounts of money from her.He had all this planned out right from the day Bella approached him and asked him to hurt Nora. He shouldn't have allowed greediness to blind him completely. He is getting paid handsomely being the head doctor of the best hospital in New York.He shouldn't have gotten himself into this mess and should have exposed her evil intentions instead. "Say something old man! I don't
***"Can you just let me be? You asked me not to leave the house and I obeyed your instructions without arguing or disagreeing." Nora said to Richard, feeling so pissed.Richard sighed and suddenly smiled, "Are you still mad at me because I asked you not to visit Rufus at the hospital?" Richard asked as he moved closer to Nora, who was sitting on the bed while watching her favorite show on the Television. She ignored him as her eyes were on the Television."Now that you didn't see Rufus, didn't breathe well? Visiting him at the hospital wouldn't have made any difference, he still hasn't woken up but he is fine. Bella is there with him so I see no reason why you should stress yourself in going to see him. You will be due for delivery in the next few months, what you need now is enough rest. I hope you understand me now baby," Richard explained himself."I've heard you already, just allow me to watch my show in peace. Like seriously? I couldn't even go out to see my sister or atleast
***Seraphina stared at the abortion pills on the desk in front of her and sighed deeply, she then began caressing her flat belly."This is so hard for me to do, I can't believe I would be killing my first fruit, I would feel like a murderer if I took out the baby in my womb. This is really difficult," Seraphina muttered as she packed the drugs back into a bag.She was planning to take the drugs tonight but she lost courage as usual and returned them back. She is really scared of taking them."I wonder where Denmark got all those drugs from, maybe I will be able to take them once he is beside me but right now, I don't have the mind to take them." Seraphina kept the bag in one of her drawers and went back to bed, she then pulled the duvet to cover her body."It's kind of cold tonight, I wish I had Denmark by my side right now." Seraphina muttered as she picked her phone to check if she had gotten any messages or calls from Denmark.Unfortunately, there was none from him and she sighed
** A day later ** The burial ceremony of Doctor Smith just finished getting conducted and those who attended the ceremony were beginning to leave the gravesite in two's and three's. Nora and Richard paid their last respect to Doctor Smith and turned to leave immediately.Nora glanced at his daughter who was crying so bitterly with a middle aged woman who she guessed to be her mother standing by her side.Rufus's parents were with them and some other dignitaries, they were trying to ease them with some soothing and encouraging words.The Williams family has known Doctor Smith for over twenty years, he has been their family doctor all these years and never fails to show up during emergency situations.They ought to show up for his burial and also pay him his last respect."Honey, you can leave without me, I have to go see my sister." Nora said to Richard as they both headed to where their car was parked."But you need to rest now, you can go see her later." Richard suggested and Nora
**Three days later~~ A burial site ** The sky was gloomy as everyone had a mournful expression on their faces. The burial ceremony of Richard Williams was just conducted and the sympathizers were beginning to leave in two's and three's.Richard's mother was crying bitterly and few women were the one holding her back so she wouldn't try to do something crazy. Rufus moved close to Richard's grave and took a deep breath, Richard's epitaph was inscripted on the top of his grave."I have nothing much to say to you but you should have just told me the reason why you hated me so much before you died. No matter how badly you treated me, I still loved you as a brother. You brought your death upon yourself because of your stupid obsession but I would never forgive you for almost taking the life of Nora. I hope you rest well in bosom of the lord.`` Rufus said and put on his dark shades before walking away from the burial site. He didn't even bother to console his mother or his father, Richard
** The next morning **Seraphina opened her eyes slowly and was exposed to the early morning rays of sunlight. She slowly sat up and realized she was lying on the floor. She suddenly felt a banging headache and groaned loudly."Fuck! How come I fell asleep on the floor? Nora couldn't even tuck me in, that's unfair!" Seraphina said still feeling sleepy. She stood up from the floor and that was when she remembered what happened last night in a rush. Her eyes widened and she rushed into the rooms and checked for Nora but she wasn't there. She checked the toilets and the kitchen but she was nowhere to be found."Nora! Big sis!" She screamed out as her heart began racing madly in fear. "Oh my goodness! Those evil guys took my sister away!" Seraphina suddenly bursted into tears.She suddenly noticed a white envelope and picked it up, the strange guys must have dropped it off there.She opened it with shaky hands and read it aloud."If Rufus wants the life of his baby and his woman to b
*** Seraphina went to check who was at the door, she had to check from the peephole, the person was a male and he looked like a delivery guy. "Did my sister order something?" Seraphina muttered as she opened the door.Before she could say a word, a gun was placed on her head, she wanted to scream but the strange man signalled for her to keep her lips shut. That minute, Seraphina's heart left its usual spot and she stiffened, no one has ever pointed a gun to her head before. She noticed that the guy wasn't the only one, he still came with the other three guys and Seraphina began shaking seriously. The kem were masked so she couldn't see what they looked like.She wished she could mind-link her sister and tell her to run. "Lead the way!" The guy whispered and Seraphina turned slowly and began leading them to the sitting room."Seraphina! Who is at the door?!" Nora yelled, having no clue of what was going on. Nora suddenly heard footsteps and she sprang up immediately.She screamed
***"Shit! I knew something like this would end up happening!" Denmark muttered as packed his personal stuff inside a particular bag. He watched the live video of how Nora exposed him and Bella and the latter even attested to it. Right now, he is planning to run to a safer place where he would not be found or seen by anyone. He is pretty sure that the police officers are on their way to his home, that he must act fast. His hands were shaking as he packed his clothes and some other things. He suddenly changed into a baggy trousers and top, he then put on a face cap and put on a face mask. He looked at himself in the mirror and was satisfied with his look, he would hardly be noticed and recognized by anyone."I am sorry I had to leave you behind Bella, life isn't always fair in some situations. I have watched a lot of romance novels and the one if the main characters is always sacrificing something huge for the other. Maybe you're the sacrifice this time,please stay strong and t
***"What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't try to cover up what we were talking about? Aren't you ashamed to be throwing yourself cheaply at my husband?" Bella suddenly said and Nora slapped her soundly."You stupid and ungrateful bitch! I want you to tell me if I have never wrong you in any way? Why are you so heartless? As if ruining my happiness wasn't enough, you also wanted to kill my baby and hurt me. You think I don't know about all your evil deeds!" Nora screamed madly at her and Bella froze.Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces, Rufus was confused as hell."No one should interfere between the two of us! I am going to reveal all your evil deeds right here and right now." Nora said with a smirk and Bella swallowed so hard as she began sweating all of a sudden."Firstly, you ruined my home by luring my husband to have sex with you, I am sure you drugged him. The most funny part of it all is that the pregnancy you're carrying isn't even Rufus's child. It's for
** A week later ** "How was school today?" Nora asked Stephanie and the latter smiled brightly.Nora was actually on a video call with Stephanie, she has strengthened her bond with Stephanie within one week. Stephanie takes Nora as her second mom and does not keep anything from her, there's no day that passes that Nora does not speak with Stephanie."Was pretty fine, I am so glad to have known you, you're so sweet, nice and understanding." "Awwwn, I blushed, thanks baby girl, you're getting pretty by the day." "Yeah, guys won't stop flocking around but I am going to follow your advice. My academics comes first and when the right time comes, I can date the guy I like." Stephanie said cutely and Nora wouldn't stop smiling proudly."Good girl, keep making me, momma and poppa that is resting up there proud okay?" Nora said and Stephanie nodded positively. "I am still your daddy's cadet, I am still going to fulfill my promise. I am going to bring your father's murderers to book, I am
***"She has sent it already!" Nora suddenly notified Seraphina as she joined her on the bed. "I am kind of nervous, I wonder what the recordings are all about." Nora downloaded all the files Stephanie sent to her. "There are screenshots of credit alerts, I wonder what this is all about." Nora muttered and connected her phone to an airpod. She gave Seraphina one while she took the other ear. Nora took a deep breath before playing the recording. The first voice they recognized was Bella's voice and the duo looked at each other with widened eyes.The recording about the conversation Bella had a conversation with Doctor Smith where she asked him to hurt Nora and the baby promising to pay him a whopping amount of five hundred millions dollars. "What!!!" They both screamed out at the same time as she removed the airpods from their ear at the same time."Seraphina, what did I just hear? Bella plotted with Doctor Smith to kill my baby and also hurt me?" Nora asked with trembled lips as
** The next morning **"Oh my goodness! So we were right?I guess Denmark and Bella both planned to make a fool out of me, I was so foolish. I even went ahead to date him after you told me that he was Bella's Ex, I think my brain left me all these while." Seraphina muttered as she checked out the pictures of Denmark and Bella kissing. "I shouldn't even be stressing you with all these, I should be able to handle all of these myself. Just relax and concentrate on getting better," Nora muttered as she collected her phone from her. "You're pregnant too and will be due for delivery in less than two months, you also don't need all this stress. Let's handle it together," Seraphina said and Nora sighed. "So you said you guess Bella came back to the hospital after seeing the threat message you sent to her?" Seraphina asked and Nora nodded."I am going to keep toying with her a little with those pictures till I get stronger evidence. She is going down very soon, whatever stupid plans she mus
** Denmark's home **Denmark was busy smoking wildly and giving himself a handjob while watching porn on his laptop. He has been waiting for Seraphina's call since morning because she promised to take the pills he sent to her last week but he hasn't heard anything from her. "Has she taken it already and is already dead in her apartment? If that's the case, I've got to cut off every ties with her. She is so dumb and gullible so I am sure she would take all the pills just like I asked her to. I am also sure she wouldn't survive it but who cares, maybe it's time for her to die. I have no interest in her anymore. If she manages to survive in the end, she should move on with her life. I hope she doesn't foolishly come trying to look for me." Denmark thought silently as he smirked and puffed out more smokes from his cigarettes. "Fuck! I really need a bitch," Denmark spat as he continued giving himself self pleasure but that wasn't enough for him, he wanted more than that.He was still on
